Rating: Summary: Disney has dragged itself out of the mire! Review: Disney has long been the best in children's movies, and especially in animation. _Beauty_and_the_Beast_ marked a change: the advent of computer animation in Disney features. Many of the recent Disney animated features were less than Walt would have been satisfied with, but _Mulan_ changes all that! The newest addition to the Disney animation family is an amazing adventure story which can be watched by small children (unlike _The_Hunchback_of_Notre_Dame_) as well as enjoyed by adults and teens alike. A must see! *****

Rating: Summary: -*WOW*- Review: This is the best thing Disney has come out with in years. Ignore everything between The Lion King and Mulan, because it was sub-standard, at best. I cried when I saw Pocahontas, it was such a step down, but I am glad to see that Disney has gotten back on track. Let's hope they stay there.Mulan is not authentically Chinese, just as animation done in China featuring Americans is not strictly American. Each society has inside jokes that other societies do not share. The eggs-and-bacon smiley face in Mulan's breakfast was an American joke, a child's breakfast for a warrior. The family name for Mulan - "Fa" - might not be perfect, but give credit where it is due, she was not reffered to as "Mulan Fa". Mushu reffering to Khan as "Bessie" is obviously an Anglo-Saxon cow joke, which is brilliantly executed by Eddie Murphy. All in all, this was a fabulous film, with fabulous scenery, seamless animation, and a great storyline.
Rating: Summary: It's supposed to be a beautiful film...... Review: I love the movie and the story. But, we forget how visually stunning the movie was. Being a designer/special effect artist I watch how the beautiful scenery was chopped up to fit in the NTSC format. That means, it was formatted to fit in the television viewing area. The stunning asian color palette was less dramatic and the scenes were, not as powerful as they should be. I was hoping for a special widescreen version, however Disney still does not make any of their beautiful animations in that format. I have to give the video 3 stars because we're just seeing half the film.
Rating: Summary: Quality Adult Entertainment Review: This movie is about honor and self respect. It is perhaps the most adult movie I have seen in years. All the characters behaved believably. (except for the Dragon and the Cricket, and that is outside of the relm of human behavior anyway) The movie treated a different culture with respect and treated the issues faced by the characters with honesty. Even in the realm of violence this movie was adult in behavior, without going overboard. The death of the guards on the wall, the death of the scout, the fate of the village and fate of most of the horde were not wallowed in, nor were they glossed over. In the relm of sex, this was also a very adult movie. Again, there was the lack of juvinile tittering, and a direct and honest view of both attraction and the usual fate of a chinese girl. Mulan is a movie you can enjoy at every level. It is intellectully exciting as well as plain entertainment. Mulan is about love, honor and integrety. The movie understands its own message.
Rating: Summary: The Greatist movie ever Review: Mulan is my favorite movie above my other to Event Horizen ad The Fifth Elemrnt. The scence were they bow to Mulan ws heart touching.
Rating: Summary: Mulan is a timeless masterpiece... Review: "Mulan" is a timeless masterpiece based on an age-old Chinese tale that reminds us of the fundamental reasons why life should be celebrated: loyalty and friendship, honor and dedication, family, friends, humor, and love. Through a simple yet unforgettable story, "Mulan" takes us away from the madness of our materialistic priorities, and invites us into a world that values the strength of the spirit and the dedication of the heart.
Rating: Summary: a great movie with good animation for thought Review: Excellent disney flick. One of the best it's put out so far. Though it wont jump out at you like Alladin, any child would enjoy it.
Rating: Summary: GIRL POWER! An excellent movie for everyone! Review: This is a truly excellent movie. It shows humor with Eddie Murphy as Mushu, courage with the story, well depicted chinese history, as well as girl power. This movie is a disney classic, right up there with Fantasia and Aladdin and all those others. It truly outshines some, like the poorly-depicted Hercules, and just makes you want to smile, cry, laugh or sing along with the characters. I give this movie a million thumbs up! (Uh, a little help here?)
Rating: Summary: The Best Disney Movie.PERIOD. Review: A tale is brought to life when a beautiful chinese girl is forced to cut her hair and cross dress as a man to prevent her ailing father from being forced into war. Stars Ming-Na Wen as Mulan, Eddie Murphy as Mushu.
